hi there,

got a form wich i want to submit or clear by clicking an image... it's in code like this:

HTML Code:

<input type="image" name="submit" value="submitname" src="images/plaats.jpg" > <br><br><br>
  <input type="image" src="images/wis.jpg" name="reset">

in the following script there is this line:

PHP Code:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ 

somehow the "submit" isn't passed to the next script... anybody got an idea?..

Also, echo out your data to see what it actually contains -

PHP Code:

echo "<pre>";

print_r($_POST);

echo "</pre>";

I've encountered this problem before, it was IE on windows that was causing the problem as I think it was passing a X, Y post variable instead of the submit parameter. The work around was to add a hidden form field and listen for that.

In the form add a hidden field of 'action' with the value of 'add'

then in php use

PHP Code:

if(isset($_POST['action']) && $_POST['action'] == "add"){ 

hope that helps

This actually probably only happens to be a problem in firefox or IE. I've noticed that when you use type="image" it tends to mess things up. What I do is use css to fix the problem.

HTML Code:

input .submit{
      background-image:url(images/plaats.jpg);
}


<input class="submit" type="submit" value=" " name="submit">

This little bit of code will solve the problem for you. My recommendation is to not use type="image" back in the day it wasn't supported for a reason.
